We teamed up with instagrammer_sa team extraodinaires Richard, Robynn and Russel who together with social influencers Taun, Melissa and Alex took our Happy 3 campervan for an epic African adventure which they named ‘Chasing Africa’.

The festival’s AfrikaBurn Website takes it a step further: “AfrikaBurn’s aim is to be radically inclusive and accessible to anyone. The touchstone of value in […]
“The first major city to run out of water !” “Anarchy will rule when the water runs out !” “Local government powerless to avoid DAY ZERO !” These are only a few of the local & international news headlines in reference to Cape Town’s current water shortage.
